Put your observation skills to the test with this tricky brainteaser.
If you were a fan of the Where's Wally? books as a kid, then you're probably a genius when it comes to hidden object games and brainteasers that challenge you to find obscure items in complicated images. But did you know those fun puzzles are actually working wonders for your brain health too?
Puzzles are great for training logical thinking, pattern recognition, and perception. What's more, high levels of cognitive activity can even help to delay the onset of degenerative diseases such as dementia. So if you're looking for a way to give your brain a boost today, why not try out this puzzle?
The brainteaser was shared in a forum on Reddit which asks people to complete one simple task - find the frog. It sounds easy, but when you take a close look at the image you'll realise it's much harder than it first seems.
The picture shows a babbling river scene complete with crystal clear water and several rocks of various colours. Some of the rocks are submerged in water, while others stick out above the surface. Somewhere in the image, however, lurks a "sneaky" little frog - and it's your task to find it as quickly as you can.
Staring at this optical illusion for 2 minutes 'makes world look very different'
What makes the puzzle tricky is we don't know what colour the frog is that we're looking for. At first, your eyes might be drawn to the flashes of green that can be seen along the right-hand side of the picture. But if you zoom in, you'll see all of those are just leaves and other bits of greenery - and not a frog.
Have you found it yet? We're going to tell you where it is very soon, so don't scroll any further if you're still looking!
Answer
The frog can be found on the left-hand side of the image, toward the middle. It's black and brown in colour and is clinging to the edge of a pointy rock which is sticking out into the water. Got it now?
Commenters on the post were quick to praise the puzzle for being tricky, although some also claimed they saw the frog "straight away". One person said: "No zoom required for this one, my eyes went straight to it."
Another commented: "Found him! Sneaky little frog," while a third also wrote: "Having just spotted two frogs in my pond, my sensors were attuned and I went straight in there!"
